Ok, I’m about to get crucified. You know when you are excited to see a movie because everyone tells you it’s the BEST movie they’ve ever seen in the whole wide world… then, no matter how good the movie is, it kind of lets you down? It happened to me at Lululemon.

The people were fantastically friendly and helpful, the clothes were super cute, but the wonder unders? Sure they were comfortable, but they sure didn’t transform my life… or my thighs. I hesitate to show you this, but proof:

No one needs to see that walking around the grocery store. I liked the Groove Pants much better, but I found a pair of Nike pants at Nordstroms that felt just as great for 1/2 the price. #sorryimnotsorry

Haha, love the husband “get me out of this store face” I’ve never seen that one before! 😉 (totally kidding) Lowlight: spending 12 hours in the car Highlight: getting to spend a few hours with my friends from college

I am bummed that the Lulu response wasn’t better, but glad you at least tried it out. There are definitely different styles that work better for different people, so am glad you tried on more than just the wunder unders. I want to try Cowfish so bad. Never heard a bad word. Have you tried BlueStar Grill yet (small place in Mooresville)? Great salads! Even my husband loves their cobb. I get it with grilled chicken.

I want to try Blue Star Grill! I wasn’t sure what kind of food they served though. GLad to hear it’s good! Maybe I’ll like Lulu more when wogging trims up my thighs 🙂 I did like the Groove pants though, so I might get those one day.

Use your new PC to cook up some chickpeas to make your own super yummy hummus in less than an hour (without pre-soaking!).

Hooray for Nike! Just recently discovered your blog and was going to comment on your question about LuLu and what our favorite workout clothes are but realized that was a long time ago. I’ve never been able to convince myself to spend the money on those clothes. I’m die-hard Nike (all the time) and Under Armor (for cold weather) for my running gear. I remember you mentioned yoga pants too…for yoga I wear almost anything. I don’t feel I need very high performance gear for yoga. But I did just buy yoga pants from Aerie (my weekend highlight…finding a Small LONG 34″ inseam yoga pant, Aerie for $21.25 after a coupon code and free shipping – ordered two!). I’ve always wanted to try Athleta for yoga gear (it’s basically GAP) but again, turned off by the price. But the “model” in their catalogue are very inspiration shown in advanced yoga poses.

Another high…learned my wedding band is ready and my fiancee picked out his!!

I’m of the “over-rated” opinion on lululemon. I have a jacket that I loved at first, but then… I found that the “luon” fabric is code for “attracts dog hair like a muther-ucker”… and then I found that if I wash it with my regular (cotton) clothes, it gets pill-y… and then I found that if I wash it with my ski base layers (and special technical fabric detergent) it sucks up the smell forEVER. So, now it’s a pill-y, stinky, hairy, expensive mess that I never wear. The End

Fried pickles are the best things, ever. I was craving some last night actually (no, I’m not….)

The Wunder Unders are not my friend, either. I cannot pull them off in the least, but the Groove pants, definitely. I guess if it came down to it though, my favorite workout pants are these Champion crops that I got in the little girls section at Target for $15 🙂

I think both your face in the Lululemon picture and your hub’s face in the last one are priceless! I have no experience with Lululemon clothes (my cheapo nature can’t get past the price) but your face in that picture made me laugh out loud! And way to go posting it. I think you look great! 🙂

I agree that the groove pant suits the majority of people better than the less forgiving wonder under. The thing about the “tights” (wonder unders) is that you will wear them all the time!! I wear them for working out, but also under sweater dresses or long tops with tall boots. That’s why I think they’re special, they can still look great outside of the gym. BUt I definitely agree that the groove pant is probably the best “first lulu purchase” to make!

While I haven’t tried any Lulu stuff, I had a bunch on my wish list, but then why I had the money to splurge I couldn’t bring myself to spend it all on one item…I found a bunch of cute stuff way on sale at the Nike outlet instead! Maybe someday 😉

First of all your beautiful, but what you said about Lululemon cracked me up! 🙂 I love yoga and I live in a modest neighborhood surrounded by a wealthy one. In my yoga classes I find myself feel a little self conscious in my workout clothes when everyone else is decked out in Lululemon! You made me feel a little better about my TJ Maxx workout gear finds haha

I have never bought into the lululemon craze either! I am a fan of North Face though and I wear them ALL of the time and people tell me I am crazy for that, but I guess you buy what you like and you dont buy what you dont like/won’t wear! 😀

Your family is so cute! I tried fried pickles for the first time at a restaurant near us…SOLD. I didn’t know something could taste so delightful!!! Lulu is so out of my price range I’ve never gone into a store, I’m more Old Navy workout clothes kind of girl and I love them 🙂
